|
The following page is a style guide (Community Strategy). Strategy pages are pages detailing tips and tricks as well as helpful gameplay advice for classes, maps, achievements, etc. These pages are meant to be separate from the main articles, linked together from a small section within the main article. The pages can be more informal than a main Wiki article, however they must still measure up to a certain standard of quality.
Contents
Writing strategy
- Strategy submissions should be easy to read, informative, and follow the writing style of the strategy submission before yours. As strategy pages are community-created, submissions may be more casual in writing style, just so long as the it follows the style of the other submissions.
- All strategy should still adhere to the rest of the style guide. This includes grammar, spelling, and formatting.
Removing strategy
What if my strategy is removed?
If your strategy was removed, do not immediately add it back into the article. First check the page's history to see who removed the item, and if they left a reason in the edit summary. If the person did not leave a reason or if you do not agree with their reason, consider asking them for an explanation or elaboration on their Talk page. If the matter is not resolved, make a new topic on the strategy's talk page and state your case as to why your submission is valid strategy. As strategy is subjective, many submissions may be edited.
Guidelines for strategy
The following is a set of guidelines to follow when writing strategy. Before making an addition, try to make sure that your submission follows these guidelines.
What is strategy?
- Strategy should be descriptive and informative. Strategy submissions can be as long as they need to be as long as it is easy to read and follow. Try not to make run-on sentences, and don't be afraid to split your submission into more than one bullet point or section if it's very in-depth. Remember that all manner of players will read these pages, so try not to use obscure or confusing terminology.
- Strategy should follow a common writing style with the rest of the page. As strategy is more lax, anyone can write the page the way they wish, so long as it follows the rest of the Wiki's guidelines. Future submissions from other users should follow the first editor's writing style to make the page appear as if it was written by one person.
- Strategy should be current. If a submission contains information that was changed from an update (Such as a map structure change, or weapon re-balancing) then update it.
What is not strategy?
- Strategy should not use bugs or exploits. Exploits are not a useful strategy as they may not have been intended to be in the game, and may be removed in future updates. Focus on helping the players to improve their basics so that they can excel at the game without relying on tactics that may be rendered useless.
